I fell asleep on the subway.
It was on the R train going from Brooklyn to Manhattan, and it is a kinda long ride as subway rides go, maybe 20 minutes.
When I woke up I didn't know where I was for a second: weirdly shaped, brightly lit underground chamber. My mind flashed to thoughts of being buried alive like the characters on CSI or Bones. It was a short lived feeling, because the trains are labeled so you can see where you are going and I remembered pretty quickly.
So I closed down Pearl Paint getting two small canvases to make oil paintings. Pearl closes at 7pm, and I am always hustling to get there before the class I teach at night starts at 830. Luckily the school has a library for me to spend the hour in between the time when Pearl Paint closes and my class begins.
Forum Gallery:
Forum Gallery was a big deal to me when I was learning to paint. They basically showed the strongest group of realist painters in America.
I used to love Forum Gallery, because they showed Scott Prior (who I briefly worked for in the late 90s) and Gregory Gillespie. Now Gregory has passed on and Scott doesn't show there anymore. So I lost my personal connection to the place, but I guess they still show Jane Lund who I met a few times when I worked in Northampton Mass. Anyways I think I may go and see what they have up on the walls this Saturday.
